Eliminating the Solar Tax Credit is Bad for All of Us | Plugged In

Higher electricity bills, lost jobs, and small business closures—those are just a few of the potential impacts if Congress eliminates the residential solar investment tax credit (ITC).

A new proposed House bill would remove clean energy incentives, including the ITC, by the end of 2025 (roughly a decade earlier than planned). The ITC allows solar owners to claim 30% of installation costs as a credit on federal tax bills. Many House Republicans argue that removing clean energy incentives would lead to “drastically higher power bills for American families.”

We spoke with Liam Madden, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, solar energy professional, and small business owner in Vermont who wrote a plea to Congress to extend the ITC beyond 2025. For him, and many like him, this isn’t about policy—it’s personal.
